I never came up with anything, mostly because the 80-minute signature spa treatment, which included my first-ever facial mask, pretty much wiped the capacity for annoying thoughts out of my mind.

The Spa is a new addition to the Disney Vacation Club resort, which has been a quiet presence on State Road A1A next to the tranquil shores of the Atlantic Ocean for 15 years. Outside the resort's back door is a lovely, secluded stretch of sand. Inside, there is the kind of service and attention to detail that has made Disney famous.

It's an appealing combo.

Hotel managers told me that the resort attracts a good share of its business from travelers hopping on Disney cruises departing from Port Canaveral, but the hotel's restaurants also have become a favorite with locals.

At Shutters, the less formal of the resort's dining options, there's a Saturday character breakfast, Sunday brunch and Thursday night seafood buffet. There's a seasonal pirate dinner featuring Disney characters on Mondays from Memorial Day to Labor Day and on select dates throughout the year.

For a drink, there's also the Green Cabin Room, a rustic upstairs lounge off the main lobby that offers a relaxing ocean view from its outdoor deck.

But the ultimate relaxation spot is that spa, which features its own menu of chilled soups, bruschetta crostini and other treats. After a massage, a facial or a manicure, nosh on something in one of the peaceful rooms that look out at the water.
